Module Trial Modification

1. There was a noted issue regarding the “About” UI of the “Help” section of Toolbox, wherein users who requested a 30-day trial module of unpurchased Toolbox modules would not have their request enabled, but rather, have a form prompted to send a request to Microvellum Support. 

1. The issue has been resolved; the system has been automated to enable the trial to begin upon request rather than being manually enabled by support. 
   

Specification Group Fix

Figure 1: Material file error crash issue.

1. Users reported an issue when opening and closing their specification groups within their material file, wherein an error would sometimes occur that caused a program crash.

1. This issue has been resolved, this error and crash should no longer occur when confirming or utilizing one’s specification groups or material file. 
   

SCM Border Routing Fix 

Figure 2: Incorrectly calculated border routing.

1. There was a reported problem wherein the Solid Model Analyzer would not create border routes with sufficient depth. The software would only calculate penetration up to the material thickness, not the standard formula of material thickness + spoilboard penetration. 

1. This issue has been resolved- border routes should calculate with correct depth using the standard formula. 
   

Beamsaw Fix

1. An issue was found with sheet size field when creating G-code with using a beamsaw Toolfile with Perfect Graining applied. When a batch was processed with this configuration, the sheet size field in the header of the resultant G-code from that specific batch would erroneously display the full sheet size when cutting parts out of the container, rather than displaying the full sheet size only during the creation of the grain container, then displaying the container size during cutting.

1. This issue has been resolved, the sheet size section in the heading should now display the full sheet size during the creation of grain containers, and the container size when cutting the container. 
   

Product Report Prompts Fix

Figure 3: ProductReportPrompt error.

1. There was a noted issue that would sometimes occur for users attempting to utilize the “ProductReportPrompts” or “SubassemblyReportPrompts” table with a custom report. When attempting to customize the report utilizing these tables, the result would be an error that would prevent users from previewing the report. 

Figure 4: New prompt message pop-up.

1. This issue has been resolved- the tables have been modified to discount any error causing prompt names or variables within them, displaying a message to prevent errors and alert users of the changes.
   

Machine Token Fixes

1. An issue was reported wherein users utilizing a polyline token in conjunction with a product or drawing with face boring applied would find that face boring would not be applied when the polyline token was active within the drawing in certain part shapes (namely, part shapes applied inside of polygons). 

1. A similar issue was noted when drawing parts with vertical drilling applied in 2D, wherein the vertical drill machining would not appear on the part unless all polyline machine tokens were removed from the part. 
   

1. Users would sometimes have an issue with machine tokens disappearing on parts with IRIB applied. 
   

 

Figure 5: Buyout machining issue (left) and resolution (right).

1. There was an issue reported when users marked certain parts of their products as Buyout using the “Is Buyout” system prompt, which, when used, should indicate that the specific part, hardware, or subassembly is to be omitted from the work order and not manufactured. Users encountering this issue would find that when marking certain hardware, components, or parts as buyout, the parts would instead fail to draw or have any machining tokens applied to them.

1. There was an issue with the “Update Machine Tokens from Template” option within the material file. Some users found that when inspecting their specification groups, and attempting to update multiple materials, either custom or in custom categories, with new hardware machine tokens, then using the “Update Machine Tokens from Template” option to apply all the new machining, only the last selected material would have the update applied to it, with the rest failing to save or register the change.
